Police: Blast Debris Kills Man in Bungled Condom Machine Robbery

A man died after he was hit in the head by a flying piece of metal from a condom machine that he and two accomplices blew up in an apparent robbery attempt, police in Germany said Monday.

The 29-year-old man was taken to hospital on Christmas Day in the western town of Schoeppingen, near the Dutch border, by the two other men.

All three had fled the scene of the explosion in a car, leaving behind condoms and money scattered around the gutted vending machine.

Well, the title says it all folks!

I dont really have anything to add, other than, well, 'natural selection' -

A condom machine? You could have done better Gents!

Obviously urgent to win the award by any means...

A Nobel category should be added for those using explosives in their attempt at the prize.

Maybe they weren't after the money and were planning a long weekend. It could be called frau vergnügen, in line with the VW ads.

Could be.

Many times a person trying to do the right thing ends up hurt.

Adleast he wasn't planning to breed.

He should have used protection.

I read about stupid people like this one and just classify them under Thin The Herd. Flag for posting a laugh even though the perp may not have deserved getting killed. It takes all kinds.
